Amphibian

If I ever find my mind agog in heaven
blind as a frog in an earthen oven
I�d hop my ass back down to earth �
And see Jack the Clown for what he�s worth

Could heavens exist in the commotion of a threshold
Would sapiens resist the devotion to what they�ve been sold
Through faith I create those things that brings me to believe
True faith will negate the strings on your wings you can�t perceive �

I like the crazy notion that every day is nowadays today
I live this lazy devotion that times are always this way
Push my timid tush up to the threatening door
Mourn the twitching toad on the rainy road �

who cannot embrace the face of Jacky�s killing floor.

Author's Note

I�ve always been enamored with the idea that the obvious is never the obvious.The idea that time could be a human invention to cop with mortality. Amphibians quasi exist in two different contradictory atmospheres. If time is a human institution then is doesn�t necessarily exist in the universe, which could mean there is only the eternal now� a.k.a heaven on earth. But death is the end of eternity. We can�t connect those dots, so we invent time. It�s like the bad clown, an icon of contradiction and yet the contradiction is part of the fabric of our reality.
